Query issue with returning a specific collection in a Sanity.io Slack thread.

Hi, I am trying to understand why the "collection" in the below query is never returned (using -> and references(^._id) in the same filter doesn't work). Everything is linked/referenced correctly (the collection has a reference to the partner and it also references the post).
Where as this query always returns a "collection":
As does this query:
Basically the point of the query is given three slugs, I want to bring back all the documents for all three AND ensure the documents reference each other correctly (the collection references both the post and the partner, the post references the partner).
Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
*[_type == 'post' && slug.current == $postSlug && partner->slug.current == $partnerSlug] {
"post": @{
...,
images[]{..., asset->{...}}
},
"collection": *[_type == 'collection'
&& slug.current == $collectionSlug
&& partner->slug.current == $partnerSlug
&& references(^._id)
]{
...,
posts[]->{
...,
images[]{..., asset->{...}}
},
}[0],
"partner": *[_type == 'partner' && slug.current == $partnerSlug]{
...,
logo{..., asset->{...}}
}[0]
}*[_type == 'post' && slug.current == $postSlug && partner->slug.current == $partnerSlug] {
"post": @{
...,
images[]{..., asset->{...}}
},
"collection": *[_type == 'collection'
&& slug.current == $collectionSlug
&& references(^._id)
]{
...,
posts[]->{
...,
images[]{..., asset->{...}}
},
}[0],

Hi Matthew, without having reproduced this yet, have you tried using
references(…)for both the
_idand
$partnerSlug? Also, you have verified that the returned collection is exactly the same for both working queries, correct?

Hi Peter, I thought references could only be used with an _id? The partnerSlug is of type slug... And yes, the returned collection is exactly the same. I'm happy to give access to our dataset - there isn't much in there (yet).

Resolved with the snippet below, although some follow-up is required to investigate a non-working
^._idin the query above (and variations of it).
